About Giles Turnbull

I've been a professional journalist since 1993. I became a technology specialist in 1997, and went freelance in 2001. Since then my focus has been on the internet and Apple Mac hardware and software, but I also enjoy writing about science, the environment, parenting and lots of other topics.

Among others, I've written for Inside iPhone, MacUser, The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, and BBC Online. There's a detailed list on the published work page, and the most recent stuff is on the home page.

In addition to journalism, I write website copy for corporate clients. I specialise in copy for human beings; copy that people can actually read and understand in an instant. Not meaningless business-speak, but meaningful words that explain complex ideas simply.

I've written copy for youcando.org.uk, Expectnation and Dopplr.

I've contributed to a handful of books.

I live in Wiltshire, near Bath, with my wife and son. In my spare time I enjoy singing and photography. I'm easy to find online; I tend to be “gilest” on various web services and community sites. You can find me on Twitter, Flickr, del.icio.us, LinkedIn, Dopplr, and The Daily Chump. I’ve got an obligatory Amazon wishlist, and can be found lurking or posting on some mailing lists: Wrong People, (void), and Underscore.
